Question

What is ur opinion over Selangor MB Khalid statement on UiTM open 10% for Non-Malay?

Answer 1

Good start. Perhaps soon it will be based only on results and not on race.  

Answer 2

He just asked for 10%, its already too good for UiTM.

Even UiTM open 100% for non-bumi, I don't think many non-bumi will want to study there. Just look at the quality of teaching and the kind of students they had there. Too many extremist and racist students trained from there. Any non-bumi parents want to send their children study at UiTM???

Those non-bumi who will study there are :

1) Very poor students staying nearby (can't afford to take bus to go to other school)

2) those who no other school want to accept (lousy one)

3) The government allocate them there (no choice)

Answer 3

I actually got no intention to having dispute with anyone and always shun from giving any ‘detrimental’ commentary, especially when it comes to politics. However, after I found out that there are lots of ‘educated’ Malays here, I feel like giving my piece of thought. I’m a PKR supporter but it doesn’t mean that I have to conform to all of their ideology without first examine the pros and cons of my conformity. Another thing we need to remember, what Khalid said was just a SUGGESTION. So, don’t make a storm in a tea cup.

Personally, I don’t think UTAR Malay students will be treated warmly by the non-Malays. Tell you what, it's puzzled me for why I never seen Malays (Muslims) questioned anything with regard to Chinese or Indian and their religious affairs. Instead, they (Chinese and Indian) always have something to say about Islam at the same time touch the sensitivity of Muslims (Malays) which has nothing to do with them. And all of you who are non-bumis supposedly have to be thankful that most of the Malays not supporting their own community.

If you’re saying UiTM’s students are racist, so why Chinese grumble so much about it, showing so much of disrespect and discrimination toward Malays and Islam? You can see in newspapers, in the job vacancy section, most of the companies owned by Chinese will consider job application from Mandarin conversant only. It is clear-cut that the requirement has been set not in good faith. Isn’t that called racist? If Malays still wish to support this kind of Chinese, I don’t know what to say then.

To please KKBossy, I will agree with 3 characteristics that you’ve mentioned above:

1) Totally agree. UiTM’s students are poor. Unfortunately, I went to class by car not by bus. My father is only a Remisier and my mother is just a doctor. We were very poor and that’s why I chose to further my study in UiTM.

2) Also agree that students admitted to UiTM because there are no other universities accept them. I entered UiTM and be in the faculty which required us to get band 5 for Muet and A1 in English. (SPM) The same faculty at other universities (UM,UIA, UUM,UKM) willing to accept students who got Band 4 for MUET and A2 in English.It’s so true, UiTM will only accept students who are stupid like me.

3) Agree again with you.Whateva…

I don’t practice racisms but feel abhorrent by imprudent idea of some non-bumis.  

I wonder how could a legal practitioner (or at least a law degree holder) who is well-versed with the FC still support unwise idea raised by Khalid.

I rest my case.

Answer 4

Hmmm.... I agree with the KK boss..up there.

Answer 5

I agree 100% with Khalid's statement. Without trying to offence anyone, unfortunately to say, UITM does not deserve a "university" status. Most of the graduates ( remember I am not telling all of them ) have low esteem when it comes to seeking employment. Never mind about ability to converse in English, they are not able to express themselves well even in Malay language. I have studied in a local U before ( University Malaya ) and i noticed in every lectures, the Malays would always be sitting at the back of the lecture halls and did not pay full attention to the lectures and worse they also skipped lectures frequently. This is especially true for Malay male students, the female students fared slightly better though. Most Malays also have perceptions that non-Malays are smarter than them which is definitely not true. The non-Malays achieve better results because of their hard work, they know without working hard, they would be left. Malays on the other hand are very complacent, knowing that would still be assisted even without achieving good results. If the situation in multi racial local universities are already like what i have mentioned, i can't imagine the situation in UITM where the students are overwhelmingly Malays.

UITM needs to have "something/someone" to push their students. Admitting some non-Malay students is one of them and the other is to admit more smart Malays students. At present, smart Malays students are being sent to local Us, foreign Us and not sent to UITM. Yes, the Malay may feel their rights are being taken away by admitting a mere 10% non-Malay students but they have to realise , in the long run, this would do good to UITM. Sadly, some people think "quantity" is still better than "quality"

Having said everything of the above, i think the MB should forget about the idea. Even if UITM is opened to non-Malays, only a handful of non-Malays will enter the U just like what is happening to our national schools all over the country where only a small number of students are non-Malays. I certainly would not recommend any non-Malay to enter UITM eventhough UITM is the cheapest institution of higher learning in Malaysia. In our present world, you pay cheap, you get cheap stuff, you may more, you get better stuff.
